A new legal battle has emerged from the already turbulent aftermath of the death of highlife legend Daddy Lumba, as his widow, Priscilla Ofori, popularly known as Odo Broni, filed a GH¢10 million defamation suit against TikTok personality Cyndy Emma Koomson.
The case, filed at the Accra High Court on April 20, 2026, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing feud surrounding the late musician’s estate, burial, and family divisions—disputes that have increasingly spilled into social media spaces.
Since Daddy Lumba’s passing in July 2025, tensions among family members and affiliated groups have remained high, particularly between factions aligned with his first wife and those backing Odo Broni. The conflict has been shaped by court battles over spousal recognition, funeral arrangements, and control of his legacy.
In recent months, the dispute has taken a more public turn online, with supporters from both sides—especially groups such as “Team Legal Wives”—engaging in heated exchanges on platforms like TikTok.
It is within this charged digital environment that the latest lawsuit has emerged.
Allegations Of Cyberbullying And False Claims
According to court documents, Odo Broni alleges that Queen Emma led an orchestrated online campaign that subjected her and her six children to sustained cyberbullying and reputational harm.
The suit accuses the TikToker of using her large social media following to publish what the plaintiff describes as “vile and vituperative” statements.
Among the claims cited are allegations that Odo Broni bribed a judge in connection with previous legal proceedings tied to Daddy Lumba’s funeral.
The filing also references a series of deeply personal accusations, including claims of infidelity and public questioning of the paternity of her children, with calls for DNA testing.
More seriously, the lawsuit alleges that Queen Emma made statements suggesting Odo Broni was responsible for the death of her husband—claims the legal team describes as highly defamatory and damaging.
Additionally, the suit lists several derogatory terms allegedly used against the widow, which her lawyers argue were intended to ridicule and harm her reputation.
Legal Demands And Financial Claims
Odo Broni’s legal team, from Cardinal Law Group, is seeking substantial remedies from the court. Central to their demands is a full and unconditional public apology from the defendant.
Beyond the apology, the plaintiff is demanding GH¢10 million in damages. This includes GH¢3 million in general damages and GH¢7 million in aggravated damages, which the suit argues are justified by the alleged malicious and deliberate nature of the publications.
